Raptors president and general manager Bryan Colangelo mentioned on the FAN 590 Tuesday that Andrea Bargnani might see some time at small forward this season in a gigantic starting lineup with Chris Bosh and Jermaine O'Neal.

- Moon is a better SF than Bargnani
- Kapono is a better SF than Bargnani

Are the Raptors trying to win or do everything possible to cater to their 1st overall pick? If this happens then it's a last desperation attempt by Colangelo for ANY signs to validate choosing Bargnani at #1.

Why can't BC just admit Bargnani isn't working out on this team instead of continuing to pound the square peg into the round hole.

One of the positives the aqquisition of O'Neal brought was it allowed Bargnani to go back to a role where he succeeded. What's the point of all that PLUS putting him in a big man camp when he has to learn a new position all over again?

I hope they experiment with this in the pre-season games and not the regular season.

cause if Moon has worked hard in the off season and improved his game at all, then he should be our starting SF.

Well said. I desperately hope the roster is set in stone before the first game, rather than after the first 20. If Bargnani can't hack it at SF in the pre-season, Colangelo needs to just swallow his pride and start playing him only the few spot minutes behind Bosh he's earned.

PS, I'd actually love to hear from Bargnani as to where he feels comfortable playing. I still don't believe he's as dumb on the floor as he looked last season - he needs to be at whatever spot feels right, and he clearly needs to be told what to do to some extent.

carmelo bargnani & nene would be the best frontline in the nba for a long while & they would all complement each other perfectly- instead you stunt his growth & your teams by placing him behind your best player & ask him to play out of position? trade value can only go down (imo bargnani's trade value is still high
